As title goes, what do u guys think about digi weapons being mounted on other weapons ?

Something like Digi-flamer mounted in chaplain Crozius Arcanum ?

or digi-plasma mounted into boltpistol ?

I wouldn't go for it, because that's not how they're made, and they're not made by the Imperium, so they can't be custom made or modified.

"Ey yo, Dawg, I heard you like Digi Weapons so I put mini-Digi Weapons on your Digi Weapons so you can flame while you flame."

I guess it's called Digi weapons because you need to fire them from one of your digits. Personally I am against too much deviating from marine standard loadouts other than exotic relics or xeno weapons. If you say it's a relic which has one attached, I suppose it would fit my interpretation of 40K.

Digi Weapons is short for Digital Weapons, and they're produced by the Jokaero (aka space monkeys). From a fluff perspective I don't see why a Jokaero couldn't put a digi weapon on another weapon. That said, I doubt a Chaplain would willingly hand over his treasured Crozius to a monkey.

As for allowing it, that's between the player and the GM. I suppose it only has a downside as your digi weapon can be disarmed more easily. I don't think anyone would use it to use more than 8 digiweapons, as the requisition cost would be prohibitive.

The problem is that Joekero don't 'put' digiweapons where the Deathwatch ask. They are a highly independent race famous for NOT doing what the Imperium would like!

Yeah, digital as in relating to digits and not as in the opposite of analog, I presume.

What no analogue lasers?

Please, I just had a vision of my Techmarine shooting a laser beam from his butt.

It was highly unpleasant.

Yes, you have to turn the hand crank to charge it up.

"Have you guys seen my Crozius?"

"Here, one of the monkeys put a digi-flamer on it."

"...cool."

Now i wonder if eldar see any difference between jokaero and human...

beside i think its more like: tech-monkeys create digi weapon mechanism, where or how u mount it its your call (and your techmarine ofc). Dont forget that greatest anti xeno/heretic/mutant organisation in wh40k can have tech-monkeys as BFF in their retinue. (we all thank mr.ward for it)

If it's made by the Jokaero, and the Imperium doesn't really know how they work, how could you modify them or mount them without almost certainly breaking it?

They're made into rings and the like - why do you need to mount them anyway? You have Exterminator cartridges for melee weapons anyway.

Is this the same book where they carry demon weapons, sacrifice Sisters of Battle, and are more incorruptable than incorruptable, and are totally 110% of everything a marine can ever be?

No thanks. I'll stick with what Jokereo have been for the last 20 years, rather than accept the most recent pile of drool.

really? the Jokera have been making digital weapons for the inquistion and rogue traders for the last 20 yrs in the fluff and have always been monkeys / apes

so how exactly has matt ward changed this? i am not his biggest fan but the return of the jokera does fit the fluff

and before people get on their high horse dont the dark angels one of the most xenophobic chapters have little aliens just to carry their leaders helmits?

They have never made anything 'for' others. They just make things, which sometimes the Imperium manages to get hold of and use, although have no idea how it works. Original fluff stated that every time they are imprisoned to be studied, they just make something and teleport to escape. AFAIK, the recent GK Codex is the first time that they've been seen on army lists of the Imperium, and I personally don't see that they have any place there.

yes we probably speak about same book, and dont forget that one grey knight is able to slapped Mortarion who is Deamon Prince Primarch then same grey knight will tear deamon prince primarch heart from his rotten chest and engrave his BFF name on it just to show how cool he is... And mentioned organistion, chapter 666 is so secret that i wonder if their members know that they exist at all.

You've forgotten this one time where a nude and unarmed Grey Knight beasf*cked a whole Black Crusade because they were trespassing!

Fun times...
